For example, NASA&#8217;s \u201chuman computers\u201d became more valuable as they mastered new tools.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>AI+HI Concept<\/strong>: The future of work will be characterized by AI+HI (AI plus human intelligence), where AI handles data analysis and automation, while humans bring critical thinking, empathy, and judgment to the workforce.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Role in AI Implementation<\/strong>: Your company&#8217;s request to help implement and improve AI tools is a vote of confidence in your expertise and indicates reliance on your ability to shape the future of work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Responsibility of Employers<\/strong>: Strong employers have a responsibility to clearly communicate how AI will impact roles, what skills will be needed, and how they will support employee learning and development.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Proactive Approach<\/strong>: To thrive with AI, you should proactively build your skills to understand and effectively utilize AI tools, turning them into an asset that complements your human strengths.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Continuous Adaptation<\/strong>: The key risk isn\u2019t in implementing AI, but in becoming stagnant. Continuous adaptation, coupled with critical thinking and leadership, will determine your success in an evolving work environment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should employees worry about AI taking their jobs? https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/columnist\/2026\/01\/06\/should-employees-worry-ai-taking-jobs\/87974979007\/ Publish Date: 2026-01-06 07:02:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":174915,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/authoring-images\/2026\/01\/02\/USAT\/87994556007-getty-images-1481181755.jpg?crop=3412,1919,x247,y419&width=3200&height=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-174914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174914"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=174914"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":174916,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/174914\/revisions\/174916"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=174914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=174914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=174914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
